KON TUM — A 110kV power line in the Central Highlands province of Kon Tum was integrated into the electricity grid system on Wednesday, bringing a stable source of power to more than 47,000 people.

The 38km Đăk Hà- Đăk Tô power line had total investment of VNĐ94 billion (US$4 million) from the Central Power Corporation.

It supplies electricity to five districts of Đăk Hà, Đăk Tô, Ngọc Hồi, Đăk Glei and Tu Mơ Rông.

Once it is put into operation, it will reduce pressure on hydropower electricity in the area.

The line was constructed in a month from October 4 to 29.

The new power line is expected to supply power to 643 electricity substations in Kon Tum Province. — VNS
